The trail network supports 60 hectares of remnant eucalypt forest and seasonal creeks set amongst low hills interspersed by 25km of well-maintained singletracks that cater for families and trail users of all fitness and skill levels.
For families with smaller children requiring supervision there is a 2km kids bike track and large shelter and picnic tables located a short walk from the entrance, as well as beginner-grade jump line to develop their bike handling and confidence in the air, when they are ready.
Bushwalkers and trail runners can enjoy three signposted loops of 2km, 3km and 5km that are included in a total of 17km of shared use singletracks distributed throughout the network, in addition to 5km of fire roads.
Mountain bikers are well catered for with graded Green, Blue and Black trails including 14 one-way (MTB-Only) descents featuring a large number and variety of jumps and technical challenges. Favorite descents for experienced riders include Sideline, Gully, Double Mocha, The 4x4, Popgun, Double Espresso, Six Rocks, Dropside and Wreck It Rod.
All trails are clearly signposted as either shared use, or exclusively for mountain bikes.
Dog walking is permitted within the facility subject to animals being secured on a lead at all times.
